英语泛读教程4unit2ThreeDaystoSee课文和译文第一篇:英语泛读教程4unit 2 Three Days to See课文和译文Three Days to Seeby Helen KellerHelen Keller, blind and deaf from infancy, became a successful lecturer, author and educator with the help of her teacher.In the following essay, she discussed how people should value their ability to see.All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live.Sometimes it was as long as a year;sometimes as short as twenty-four hours.But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life.We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come.There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry;” but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.In stories, the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed.Hebecomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values.It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.Most of us, however, take life for granted.We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future.When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable.We seldom think of it.The days stretch out in an endless vista.So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses.Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight.Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life.But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties.Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation.It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight;silence would teach him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see.Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed.“Nothing in particular,” she replied.I might havebeen incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hourthrough the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch.I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf.I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine.In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter's sleep.I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions;and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song.I am delighted to have the cool water of a brook rush through my open fingers.To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things.If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight.Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little.The panorama of colour and action which fills the world is taken for granted.It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light the gift of sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.If I were the president of a university I should establish a compulsory course in “How to Use Your Eyes”.The professor would try to show his pupils how they could add joy to their lives by really seeing what passes unnoticed before them.He would try to awake their dormant and sluggish faculties.Suppose you set your mind to work on the problem of how you would use your own eyes if you had onlythree more days to see.If with the oncoming darkness of the third night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those three precious intervening days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?I, naturally, should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness.You, too, would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you into the night that loomed before you.I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living.First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher, Mrs.Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me.I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult tasks of my education.I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that “window of the soul”, the eye.I can only “see” through my finger tips the outline of a face.I can detect laughter, sorrow, and many other obvious emotions.I know my friends from the feel of their faces.But I cannot really picture their personalities by touch.I know their personalities, of course, through other means, through the thoughts they express to me, through whatever of their actions are revealed to me.But I am denied that deeper understanding of them which I am sure would come through sight of them throughwatching their reactions to various expressed thoughts and circumstances, through noting the immediate and fleeting reactions of their eyes and countenance.Friends who are near to me I know well, because through the months and years they reveal themselves to me in all their phases;but of causal friends I have only an incomplete impression, an impression gained from a handclasp, from spoken words which I take from their lips with my finger tips, or which they tap into the palm of my hand.How much easier, how much more satisfying it is for you who can see to grasp quickly the essential qualities of another person by watching the subtleties of expression, the quiver of a muscle, the flutter of a hand.But does it ever occur to you to use your sight to see into the inner nature of a friend or acquaintance? Do not most of you seeing people grasp casually the outward features of a face and let it go at that?For instance, can you describe accurately the faces of five good friends? Some of you can, but many cannot.As an experiment, I have questioned husbands of long standing about the color of their wives' eyes, and often they express embarrassed confusion and admit that they do not know.And, incidentally, it is a chronic complaint of wives that their husbands do not notice new dresses, new hats, and changes in household arrangements.The eyes of seeing persons soon become accustomed to the routine of their surroundings, and they actually see only the startling and spectacular.But even in viewing the most spectacular sights the eyes are lazy.Court records reveal every day how inaccurately “eyewitnesses” see.A given event will be “seen” in several different ways by as many witnesses.Some see more than others, but few see everything that is within the range of their vision.Oh, the things that I shouldsee if I had the power of sight for just three days!(1634 words)译文假如我有三天光明海伦·凯勒海伦·凯勒自幼就又盲又聋,在老师的帮助下成为一名成功的讲师、作家及教育家。

Three days to seeI have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.我经常想,倘若每一个人在他早期成年生活中,有几天看不见和听不见,那将会是一件幸事。

暗无天日会使他更感到视力的可贵,寂寥无声会使他懂得听到声音的快乐。

If, by some miracle, I were granted three seeing days, to be followed by a relapse into darkness, I should divide the period into three parts.如果,由于某种奇迹,我被赋予三天能看见东西的日子,然后在沉陷到黑暗之中,我将把这段时间分为三部分来用。

The First DayOn the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.第一天,我要去看看那些人们,他们的善良、和蔼和友爱使我感到我活得还有价值。

three days to see课文翻译总结海伦·凯勒自幼就又盲又聋,在老师的帮助下成为一名成功的讲师、作家及教育家。

在这篇文章里,海伦·凯勒讨论了人们应该怎样珍惜自己的视觉能力我们大家都读过这样一些惊心动魄的故事,故事中的主人公能活的时间有限而具体,或长达一年,或短至24小时。

但是我们总是感兴趣的是,行将死亡的人究竟愿意怎样度过他的最后时光。

当然,我说的是能进行选择的自由人,而不是活动范围受到严格限制的囚犯。

这些故事启迪我们思考,诱发我们想象,当我们处于此类情况时,该怎么做呢?作为常人,我们在最后的时刻会急于想干些什么,体验些什么,联想些什么呢?回首往事时,我们又能领略到何种快慰,何种悔恨呢?有时我想,如果我们度过每一天时都假定明天即将去世,这会是个极好的准则。

这样的处世态度会强烈地突出生命的价值。

我们会亲切地、朝气蓬勃地、感受强烈地来度过每一天,而这一切却往往在日复一日延续的时光与岁月之中消失。

当然,有些人会奉行享乐主义“吃喝玩乐”的信条,但是大多数人则会因死亡就在眼前而心灵得到净化。

在故事中,那死神呼唤的主人公通常在最后时刻交上好运而获得拯救,但他的价值观几乎总是发生了变化。

他更加珍视生命的意义及其永恒而神圣的价值。

人们常常注意到,那些生活在或者曾经生活在死亡的阴影下的人,对他们所做的每一件事都赋予甜美的色彩。

然而,我们中间大多数人则把生命视为理所当然。

我们知道,总有一天我们会死去,但通常我们又把那一天想象为遥远的未来。

当我们身体健康时,死亡是件难以想象的事,我们几乎不会想到它。

岁月无穷,因此我们忙于种种琐事,几乎意识不到我们漠然的生活态度。

我们在使用感觉功能时,恐怕也持同样的冷漠态度。

只有聋者才知道听觉的重要,只有盲人才理解视觉给人带来的各种恩赐。

这一观点特别适用于那些在成年后才丧失视觉和听觉的人。

而那些视觉和听觉从未受到损害的人,则很少充分利用这些神圣的官能。

他们的眼睛和耳朵模糊地、漫不经心地、不加欣赏地纳入所有的景象和声音。

Three Days to See假如给我三天光明1 I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.我常常思忖,如果每个人在青年时期都有一段时间看不见、听不见,那会是一件幸运的事情,因为黑暗会使人更加珍惜视力,静默能教会人享受声音的美妙。

2 Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently, I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,”she replied.我时常询问我那些看得见的朋友们,想了解他们看到了什么。

最近,我问一个从林子里散步了许久回来的朋友观察到了什么,她答道:“没什么特别的。

”3 How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days.我问自己,在林子里散步一小时之久却没有看到任何值得注意的东西,这怎么可能呢?我一个看不见的人,仅仅通过触觉,就能发现成百上千件引起我兴趣的东西。

ahead. You would use your eyes as never before. Everything you saw would become dear to you. Your eyes would touch and embrace every object that came within your range of vision. Then, at last, you would really see, and a new world of beauty would open itself before you.51. I who am blind can give one hint to those who see -- one admonition to those who would make full use of the gift of sight: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. Make the most of every sense: glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you through the several means of contact which Nature provides. But of all the senses, I am sure that sight must be the most delightful.。

Three Days to Seeby Helen KellerHelen Keller, blind and deaf from infancy, became a successful lecturer, author and educator with the help of her teacher. In the following essay, she discussed how people should value their ability to see.All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets? Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of "Eat, drink, and be merry;" but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.In stories, the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaningof life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. "Nothing in particular," she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch.I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter's sleep. I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have the cool water of a brook rush through my open fingers. To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of colour and action which fills the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light the gift of sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.If I were the president of a university I should establish a compulsory course in "How to Use Your Eyes". The professor would try to show his pupils how they could add joy to their lives by really seeing what passes unnoticed before them. He would try to awake their dormant and sluggish faculties.Suppose you set your mind to work on the problem of how you would use your own eyes if you had only three more days to see. If with the oncoming darkness of the third night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those three precious intervening days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?I, naturally, should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness. You, too, would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you into the night that loomed before you.I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living.

I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that "window of the soul", the eye. I can only "see" through my finger tips the outline of a face. I can detect laughter, sorrow, and many other obvious emotions. I know my friends from the feel of their faces. But I cannot really picture their personalities by touch. I know their personalities, of course,through other means, through the thoughts they express to me, through whatever of their actions are revealed to me.

‎天光明(节选)·第二篇:Three‎Days to See(Excer‎pts)假如给我三Three‎Days to SeeAll of us have read thril‎ling stori‎es in which‎the hero had only a limit ‎ed and speci‎fied time to live. Somet‎imes it was as long as a year, somet ‎imes as short‎as 24 hours‎. But alway‎s we were inter‎ested‎in disco‎verin‎g just how the doome‎d hero chose‎to spend‎his last days or his last hours‎. I speak‎, of cours‎e, of free men who have a choic‎e, not conde‎mned crimi‎nals whose‎ spher‎e of activ‎ities‎is stric‎tly delim‎ited.Such stori‎es set us think‎ing, wonde‎ring what we shoul‎d do under‎simil‎ar circu‎mstan‎ces. What event‎s, what exper‎ience‎s, what assoc‎iatio‎ns shoul‎d we crowd‎into those‎last hours‎as morta‎l being‎s, what regre‎ts?Somet‎imes I have thoug‎ht it would‎be an excel‎lent rule to live each day as if we shoul‎d die tomor‎row. Such an attit‎ude would‎empha‎size sharp‎ly the value‎s of life. We shoul‎d live each day with gentl‎eness‎, vigor ‎and a keenn‎ess of appre‎ciati‎on which‎are often‎lost when time stret ‎ches befor‎e us in the const‎ant panor‎ama of more days and month‎s and years‎to come. There‎are those‎, of cours‎e, who would‎adopt‎the Epicu‎rean motto‎of “Eat, drink‎, and be merry‎”. But most peopl‎ewould‎be chast‎ened by the certa‎inty of impen‎ding death‎.In stori‎es the doome‎d hero is usual‎ly saved‎at the last minut‎e by some strok‎e of fortu‎ne, but almos‎t alway‎s his sense‎ of value‎s is chang‎ed.

Three-Days-to-See- 若有三天光明-BY-Helen-Kener- 海伦-凯勒(详解-鉴赏版)Three days to seeI have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.我经常想,倘若每一个人在他早期成年生活中,有几天看不见和听不见,那将会是一件幸事。

暗无天日会使他更感到视力的可贵,寂寥无声会使他懂得听到声音的快乐。

If, by some miracle, I were granted three seeing days, to be followed by a relapse into darkness, I should divide the period into three parts.如果,由于某种奇迹,我被赋予三天能看见东西的日子,然后在沉陷到黑暗之中,我将把这段时间分为三部分来用。

The First DayOn the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.第一天,我要去看看那些人们,他们的善良、和蔼和友爱使我感到我活得还有价值。

3 Sometimes I have thought it would be an
excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of "Eat, drink, and be merry," but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.

)I, naturally, should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness. You, too, would want to let your eyes rest on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you into the night that loomed before you.If, by some miracle, I were granted three seeing days, to be followed by a relapse into darkness, I should divide the period into three parts.The First DayOn the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that "Window of the soul", the eye. I can only "see" through my finger tips the outline of a face. I can detect laughter, sorrow, and many other obvious emotions. I know my friends from the feel of their faces. But I cannot really picture their personalities by touch. I know their personalities, of course, through other means, through the thoughts they express to me, through whatever of their actions are revealed to me. But I am denied that deeperunderstanding of them which I am sure would come through sight of them, through watching their reactions to various expressed thoughts and circumstances, through noting the immediate and fleeting reactions of their eyes and countenance.Friends who are near to me I know well, because through the months and years they reveal themselves to me in all their phases; but of casual friends I have only an incomplete impression, an impression gained from a handclasp, from spoken words which I take from their lips with my finger tips, or which they tap into the palm of my hand.How much easier, how much more satisfying it is for you who can see to grasp quickly the essential qualities of another person by watching the subtleties of expression, the quiver of a muscle, the flutter of a hand. But does it ever occur to you to use your sight to see into the inner nature of a friends or acquaintance/ Do not most of you seeing people grasp casually the outward features of a face and let it go at that?For instance can you describe accurately the faces of five good friends? some of you can, but many cannot. As an experiment, I have questioned husbands of long standing about the color of their wives' eyes, and often they express embarrassed confusion and admit that they do not know. And, incidentally, it is a chronic complaint of wives that their husbands do not notice new dresses, new hats, and changes in household arrangements.The eyes of seeing persons soon become accustomed to the routine of their surroundings, and they actually see only the startling and spectacular. But even in viewing the most spectacular sights the eyes are lazy. Court records reveal every day how inaccurately "eyewitnesses" see. A given event will be "seen" in several different ways by as many witnesses. Some see more than others, but few see everything that is within the range of their vision.Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!The first day would be a busy one. I should call to me all my dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting upon my mind the outward evidences of the beauty that is within them. I should let my eyes rest, too, on the face of a baby, so that I could catch a vision of the eager, innocent beauty which precedes the individual's consciousness of the conflicts which life develops.And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs - the grave, canny little Scottie, Darkie, and the stalwart, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose warm, tender , and playful friendships are so comforting to me.On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home. I want to see the warm colors in the rugs under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the intimate trifles that transform a house into home. My eyes would rest respectfully on the booksin raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, revealing to me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.In the afternoon of that first seeing day. I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast splendor which is constantly unfolding itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland jaunt my path would lie near a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field perhaps I should see only a tractor!) and the serene content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature decrees darkness.In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day.第二天:我要在黎明起身,去看黑夜变成白昼的动人奇迹。

What would you look at if you had just three days of sight? Helen Keller, blind and deaf from infancy, gives her answer in this remarkable essay.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight, silence would teach him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I asked a friend, who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,” she replied.THREE DAYS TO SEESTATIC ELECTRICITY1. Blow up a balloonand tie its knot. 2. Rub the balloon against your hair several times. This will give the balloon an electric charge. 3. If you hold the charged balloon over your head,your hair will stand on edge.4. Tear small pieces ofnewspaper. Bring the chargedballoon near them. The bits ofpaper will stick to the balloon. 5. Tape a thread to the table.Raise the thread with the help of the charged balloon. 6. You can easily stick a charged balloon to the wall.7. Try to charge a plasticcomb by combing your hair.8.

Do you see a candle or two faces?danger: School! is a landmark book. Paulo Freire was a Brazilian educator. For years he taught unschooled adult peasants to read and write in remote and poor villages. His method was a politically radical, grown up version of the method Sylvia Ashton Warner described in her book Teacher . Sylvia, who taught Maori children in New Zealand for 24 years, realised the incongruity of teaching language by using English primers that had little respect for, or reference to their lives. She devised an ingenious method – every day she asked children for an “emotive” word – a word about which children wanted to learn. If they said “drink” (as many children had alcoholic fathers) that word would be up on the blackboard and etched forever in the children’s minds.Following a similar method, Freire began by talking with Brazilian peasants about the conditions and problems of their lives, and showed them how to read and write those words which were most important for them.He found that it took only about 30 hours before the wretchedly poor and demoralised peasants were able to explore reading on their own.Thirty hours! One school week! That is the true size of the task. Of course, the Brazilian army did not like Freire making peasants literate and politically conscious and threw him out of the country.How many hours, weeks, months, years do our children spend in schools without even learning the basics?By nature children are inventive and full of curiosity. All children have a ‘gleam in their eye’ before they go to school. But soon this gargantuan Educracy (education + bureaucracy) fails them, calls them impaired and stamps an indelible scar on their hearts. Many parents have always felt that there was something seriously wrong with schools. But they have never been able to pinpoint the ‘crimes’ which schools constantly perpetuate.danger: School! does that. It is perhaps the world’s most subversive cartoon book on education. Drawn by Brazil’s ace political cartoonist Claudius, the scathing illustrations and crisp text graphically document the authoritarian, artificial world of the school.danger : SCHOOL!“Do not let schools interfere with your education.” Mark Twain.THE PUPIL KEEP QUIET,LISTEN, OBEY, ARE JUDGEDOF IMMOBILITYA MAGNETIC SPINNERMake a spinning top from a wooden thread spool. Cut the spool in half and then shape one half into a cone. Find a nail to fit tightly into the hole of the spool. Cut off a length that will go through the cone and stick about 1-cm above the top. Grind the end, which juts out to a point. Magnetise the nail and insert it in the wooden cone. Form a large S-curve from a piece of soft iron wire. Place it on a smooth surface. If you set the top spinning near the curve it will follow the wire to the end.BLACK HOT, WHITE COLDCut two vertical slits opposite each other on the side of a cylindrical tin, so that the surface of the tin is divided into two parts. Blacken the inside of one half leaving the other half shiny. Put a lighted candle inside the tin, in the exact centre of the base.A difference in temperature of the two surfaces can be detected with the fingers. Matchsticks fastened to the outside with wax can also be used as indicators.The one behind the black surface will fall off first.Fit two empty electric bulbs with corks and 15-cm long tubes.Fix the bulbs in a vertical position on a board so that they are 22-cmapart. Connect the end tubes of the bulbs with rubber tubing. Nowblacken one bulb in a candle flame. Pour water into the U tube soformed until the level is about 8-cm above the board. Slide the tubesto make the water level the same in both vertical tubes. Place alighted candle equidistant between the bulbs and wait for results.SIMPLE THERMOSCOPETRIANGLE TO SHOW EXPANSION OF HEAT Bend a piece of stiff metal wire into a triangle. Supportit in the horizontal plane and suspend a coin betweenthe two free ends forming one corner. Heat the oppositeside of the triangle and the coin will fall off.The paper pan will never burn as the temperature of the paper will never rise above 1000 C.OTH ER INCOP APP APER W A TERYou can use an old CD to make this simple hovercraft. Stick a cardboard disk to cover the hole of the CD. With a pin, make a small hole through the centre of the cardboard. Stick a small cotton reel in the centre of the CD. Find a tube, which just fits, into the centre of the reel. Push this tubeinto the neck of a balloon and secure it in place with a rubber band.Blow up the balloon, pinch the neck, and insert the tube into the hole in the cotton reel. Place the CD on a table and release the air. The expanding air, escaping through the hole in the disc, will cushion the card, so that,given a flick, it will shoot across the table with practically no friction.MODEL HYDRAULIC RAMHydraulic rams are sometimes used to raise water in hilly areas from a low level to a higher level. A flowing stream of water operates them. You can make a model hydraulic ram using a plastic water bottle (with the bottom removed). Rig up the arrangement as shown. Fill the bottle with water and allow water to flow through the extreme right hand rubber tube. Stop the flow by quickly pinching the tube and note the height to which the water squirts from the jet tube. Let the water flow and stop alternately, and you have a working model of the hydraulic ram.Fill two similar bottles with water and tighten the lids. Placea wooden rod across the back of two chairs. Suspend thebottles as pendulums from the rod. Make sure that theyare the same length. Hold one pendulum and start the otherswinging; then release the other one so that it hangs at itszero point. Soon the swinging pendulum will slow down,and the one that was quiet will take up the swing.SIMPLE GEARSWith a nail and a hammer, make holes in the centres of afew bottle crown caps. Lay two caps on a block of woodso that the tooth-like projections mesh together. Fasten themdown with nails, but make sure that they still turn easily.Turn one of the caps and note the direction that the otherturns. Add a third cap and note the direction that each turns.NAILSCROWNCAPS。
